Archaeological Museum Tourism

The Archaeological Museum in Sidon Sea Castle is a historic fortress turned museum located in the port city of Sidon in Lebanon. Sidon, one of the oldest cities in the world, is rich in history with ancient Phoenician, Egyptian, Persian, Greek, Roman, and Crusader layers. The Sea Castle, built by the Crusaders in the 13th century on a small island connected to the mainland by a causeway, has been a prominent feature guarding the entrance to the port. Through the ages, it has experienced numerous modifications and reconstructions. Today, the Sea Castle, along with the adjacent museum, provides a window into Sidon's past, showcasing ancient artifacts and relics uncovered in and around the city. Visitors can explore not only the remnants of medieval architecture but also the displayed collections from different time periods that testify to the cultural and historical significance Sidon has had in the Mediterranean region. The museum's exhibits include items such as pottery, jewelry, coins, and various tools, providing insights into the daily lives and customs of the peoples who lived in this area.
